[edit] Summary

VCD cover for Look Isan, or Son of the Northeast, a documentary-style drama by Thai director Vichit Kounavudhi.

[edit] Rationale of fair use

It is believed that the use of this image in the article, Son of the Northeast is fair use because:

The image is necessary and standard to display the film as a whole for the lead-in infobox.
It is not practical to convey a visual image about the film without using the movie poster or DVD or VHS cover, therefore, this is a non-replaceable image.
The image is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be inferior).
The image does not inhibit sales of the DVD, VHS, or posters for the film.
The image does not impede the licensing of the film.
The image does no damage to the image or quality of the film. In fact its use exactly fits the purpose of a movie poster or VHS/DVD cover, which is promoting the film.
The image is used on other websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make any more accessible than it already is.
The image is being used for informational purposes.

Additionally it is believed that the use of this image in the article, Vichit Kounavudhi, is fair use because:

It illustrates a portion of the article about Vichit Kounavudhi that describes the film.
The film is one of the key works of the director's career, a fact mentioned in the article.

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a DVD cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the DVD or the studio which produced the DVD in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of DVD covers

to illustrate the DVD in question
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
